is it as good as naruto used to be like when naruto fought sasuke and haku and zabuza? I used to love that cartoon, as well as batman the animated series is it as good as that? If so i might need to check it out

I hate to say it but I've never seen an episode of this show. Is it really that good, I mean a couple of my friends said it was really good and as I see it probably is. What's it about?

Its dope!

I'm not into cartoons or anime, so I had my doubts. But its very good.

Its about a boy that's chosen to save the world, and every episode is a journey to master various natural elements (earth, wind, water, fire). Along the way he's encountered with many adventures. But along the way, there's strong character development and we get to see the characters grow as they face different adversities.

Yeah and the writing is great. Sometimes the episodes tend to get a bit formulaic like alot of kid shows (pokemon, power rangers, etc.) as in traveling to a new place, meeting new friends, fight the same guys...but then all of a sudden it takes a completely different direction and keeps it fresh with some great ideas and developments...

The plot isn't any different than most martial arts flicks. Somebody's the chosen one, so he has to go through different training in order to master them all and face the ultimate evil dude at the end.

What makes this a great show, is the characters and the character development. Every episode is a lesson for every character, we get to see a little bit of every character little by little. And that can't be told properly or as effectively in a 2.5 hour movie.

Sure... they can give us some character exposition for most of the main characters in flashbacks, but its not the same thing. Its like cooking..... sure you can cook a meal faster if you turn up the heat to 400 degrees, but its not enough time for all the spices and ingredients to simmer properly, so while it may be cooked, it won't have any flavor.

Instead you need to cook it at 250 and slowly, so all the flavors can marinate and stir so they mix properly.

That's the same thing with this type of story.

The other characters are as important as the Avatar, and their journey needs to be told as well. You can't just do a 10 minute exposition on them and move on for more plot. The plot is the less important than the characters.
